A '''shell''' (also known as a '''Walking Bullet''' or a '''Walking Missile'''<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 2 : The Great Escape : Le Guide Officiel|the official French guide of ''Rayman 2'']].</ref>) is a highly-explosive, rocket-shaped, animalistic robot found in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, as well as [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']].

There are three makes of shell: the [[flying shell]]s, the [[walking shell]]s, and the [[red shell]]s. All three types can be avoided or punched to delay or stop them in their tracks. | A '''shell''' (also known as a '''Walking Bullet''' or a '''Walking Missile'''<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape : Le Guide Officiel|the official French guide of ''Rayman 2'']].</ref>) is a highly-explosive, rocket-shaped, animalistic robot found in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, as well as [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. They were built by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and are used by them to guard passages. They chase [[Rayman]] if he comes within their line of sight. If [[Rayman]] manages to avoid touching them for long enough as they chase him, they become tired and [[Rayman]] can jump on their backs and ride them. This can be done easily if they are already asleep, in which case it is unnecessary to tame them. If they hit [[Rayman]], or any other object or creature, they will explode, which can cause the player some health loss.

[[Walking shell]]s are also found in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], in the level [[Prickly Passage]] in the world [[Haunted Dreams]].

Shells are useful sources of transport, as they can take the player over unsuitable terrain, such as lava or [[nettle]]-covered areas. [[Flying shell]]s are unable to touch lava, however, and [[walking shell]]s are unable to go on water. In [[the Iron Mountains]], the [[walking shell]] can climb onto walls of any direction without falling down as long as the player does not make a mistake and there is a smooth surface. | Shells are useful sources of transport, as they can take the player over unsuitable terrain, such as lava or [[nettle]]-covered areas.

The shells can be recognised by their horse sound effects, two black legs and shoes (however, in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] and in some ''[[Rayman 2]]'' artwork, they are seen with silver legs with yellow knees and shoes) and a rocket shaped body, with a [[Robo-Pirate| | The shells can be recognised by their horse sound effects, two black legs and shoes (however, in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] and in some ''[[Rayman 2]]'' artwork, they are seen with silver legs with yellow knees and shoes) and a rocket shaped body, with a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate head]] pattern on one side.
